So,anyone else care to explain to students the dynamic behind this event
and

why,in 6 months time,the Sun will slowly move out of the picture as
roughly

6 months of darkness envelops the location.



===========================================

In six months time we'll be approaching equinox once again,

the Sun will rise in the NNE and and set in the NNW as seen

from the web cam once again.


I am sure the magnification guys think the reason for orbital dawn is
because the Earth turns quickly at the equator and slow at the poles hence 6
months of daylight followed by 6 months of darkness.

================================================== =======
I'm so glad you are sure of what people think, you crazy chimpanzee.
